Dawn patrolled this morning. No wind so the waves were pretty smooth. The tide was really high at +2.5', but some waves were making it through.
I have Jeff's demo Reedin 1280 on the 85cm mast (so I needed the super high tide to avoid touching bottom).
This foil is pretty loose. It turns really well and feels like surfing on a shortboard. But as expected of a lower aspect ratio foil, it did not pump back out as easily as some other late model foils. I imagine the new Axis Advanced Fuselages will give the ART a similar "looser" feeling.
I needed to mount the mast full forward to get the center of lift and center of gravity lined up.
I actually stayed out for 2.5 hours (I thought I was out less than that). I bet this setup will be fun on the wing...
